Gluzman, Geraldine metals Zavaleta collection Argentine Northwest Field Museum of Natural History metales colección Zavaleta Noroeste argentino Field Museum of Natural History The Field Museum of Natural History of Chicago (Illinois, United States) owns a great amount of archaeological pieces of the provinces of the Argentine Northwest (Salta, Tucumán and Catamarca) that were acquired in 1904 during the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, a World's Fair universal held in Saint Louis (Missouri, United States) where Manuel Zavaleta, its collector, carried part of his assemblages of objects for the purpose of obtaining an economic profit. This article aims to address a specific universe of these objects, the ones made in different types of metal from a comprehensive analysis that includes not only its features, but also a review of the exhibition of them in San Luis to its current shelter in the museum of Chicago. Today, the institution holds 185 metallic pieces from the collection. Morphological, functional and technological analyzes were carried out as well as a search of them in the archival and photographic record of the museum. The archaeological pieces were also subjected to compositional evaluation with an X-ray fluorescent analyzer provided by the institution. The results in semi-quantitative terms, together with an evaluation of the scope and limitations of this type of analytical approach, are presented. El Field Museum of Natural History de Chicago (Illinois, Estados Unidos) posee una gran cantidad de piezas arqueológicas procedentes de tres provincias del Noroeste argentino (Salta, Tucumán y Catamarca) que fueron adquiridas en 1904 durante la Louisiana Purchase Exposition, feria universal llevada a cabo en Saint Louis (Missouri, Estados Unidos) donde Manuel Zavaleta, su colector, llevó parte de su compilación de objetos con fines de obtención de un rédito económico. Este artículo propone abordar un universo específico de éstos, las piezas elaboradas en diversos tipos de metal, desde un análisis integral no solo contemplando sus características, sino también haciendo una revisión desde la estadía de los objetos en Saint Louis hasta su actual resguardo en el museo de Chicago. Hoy día la muestra de objetos metálicos de la institución es de 185 ítems. Análisis morfológicos, funcionales y tecnológicos fueron efectuados así como un seguimiento de los mismos en el registro archivístico y fotográfico del museo. Los artefactos arqueológicos fueron también sometidos a evaluación composicional mediante un analizador portátil por fluorescencia de rayos X provisto por la institución. Sus resultados en términos semi-cuantitativos, y junto a una evaluación de los alcances y limitaciones de este tipo de acercamiento analítico, son presentados. Centro de Estudios Históricos.
